What are things you wouldn't do in real life (but could), but find yourself doing a lot in-game?

I thought for a while about this but just can't find anything. I mainly play Sims to do those things I can't ever do in real life because they are physically impossible like performing magic or exploring space.

Cheating a spouse (or a boyfriend/girlfriend) and woohooing around with random Sims like there's no tomorrow. :# :D
Also fighting a lot.

Woohoo.

Yeah you heard me right! I'm a romantic sap who likes smooshing my Sims together and making them kiss and more but while I am affectionate, it's rare I'm in the mood.

Also, actually putting time into writing things which I should really do. And singing. And hobbies that aren't playing video games. :P

Sims Simmingal:
Everybody needs some lurve
yes even you Vlad, need lurve
Greg needs lurve, obviously
Let's all become romantically involved , find our true loves
and make thousand babes to continue our sweet legacy
you deserve it my sweet children

Irl Simmingal:
Ummm, Ew.
why would I ever want to romance or procreate thats disgusting
what is wrong with you? :s

oh the duality of gal

Live in any kind of home I want, and magically, the Sims version of dirt and clutter is way easier to manage and faster to fix, than any messes are in real life.

Sims is the way a society should be: universal subsidized high-quality childcare so that having kids won't burn you out completely unless you're already so rich that you don't need to work a job; affordable housing, no job discrimination, good schools for all kids instead of only in rich neigbhorhoods.

And a society of people who want to talk with each other and don't care if you're an elder or a teen, straight or gay, black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Indian, rich or poor, cis or trans; they just wanna play pub games with you or meet you on the dancefloor, or go fishing. And everyone has time to do all that because nobody's working 2 and 3 jobs trying to stay ahead of out-of-control medical expenses or afford childcare lest they wind up homeless.

The Sims is a great example of how life could be, if social equality became the norm, basic necessities were universally available, and people had the time and energy to live a rewarding life with a balance of work and leisure that allowed for social and familial relationships to thrive.

oh yeah. most my sims live in pretty old mansions but I would never buy old house because I've lived through mold hell with my parents house and i don't want to again
so if i were to really ever buy building i would certainly avoid anything old and too complicated to care for

like aesthetically fine as heck but I just couldn't actually live in one and worry about possible problems the house may have given its age

aand i would most certainly downsize by a lot cause i don't need/have huge skill building items

Every time I type "kaching" money appears in the sims' household account. Not so much in real life...I have tried it, just in case, but no, it doesn't work. :/ :D

Romancing, making offspring and raining death upon simkind

yes they are all activities I would hate to participate in irl but somehow its all rather sweet to witness in my sims lives

also anything to do with careers skills or school cause i max my sims like way too much and yet irl me would literally never bother to learn a thing cause turns out you don't become perfectly charismatic by talking to reflective surfaces or learn to build rocketships by just beating things with hammer for hours such a let down truly

oh also: visiting my neighbors

yeah not happening.

OMG, @Simmingal, that is hilarious! Isn't that the truth?

I never have the impulse to buy a 1x1 pool as often as my sims do nor a bee box, but will indulge their whims. ;)

Maybe you are not typing it in the right place @bshag4lv ?
(If you do find the right place, let us know!)

Keeping my sims up all night skilling and studying.
